Welcome to Sarasota Hypnosis Institute & Therapeutic Work Environments Executive Health & Wellness Department. On this page you will be able to find specific information about achieving Optimum Health. The health focus for this week is Irritable Bowel, fondly known as IBS, and it's cousin Gastric Reflux. Scroll down a few paragraphs & pick up some hints about managing this annoying health issue. Each week I will be focusing on a different subject, so bookmark this area & visit often. I also suggest you check out the Multi-Lingual Library & EZINES. If you have a weight problem, or addictions, I suggest you check out those Departments as well. There is also a separate area for Oncology. You will find these on the Main Program Page. The link is above. I have been a Consultant in the field of workplace health for many years & it never ceases to amaze me as to how little thought is given to improving health. While there may be some "surface" or fleeting thoughts, very rarely are wellness issues put right up front where they belong. The excuses for not doing so form a long familiar sounding list including 1) no time 2) not knowing really what to do to change. Procrastination is a big factor as well. Online Executive Coaching was designed to assist the busy individual in achieving the goals of Optimum Health & Performance. This is a very affordable program & is designed for the individual & his/her specific issues. On these pages I will be discussing some of the common ones & describing how Executive Coaching would work in these instances. For further information on Online Executive Coaching, please contact me directly. On this page you will also find a large selection of audio programs designed specifically for the Executive looking to improve health & high level functioning. A five-year study of executives from 14 major corporations, directed by Dr. Kenneth Pelletier of the University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco, revealed that maintaining a balance between success in business or your profession and a healthy, well-rounded life is surprisingly hard to achieve. So hard, in fact, that just 7% of successful people are leading that "good life." The study concluded that 93% sacrificed important aspects of their lives to get to the top. They suffered from ill health and broken relationships, thereby delivering a less than happy existance. The health of the Executive is obviously very important to the company. This interest is not only due to the very high medical costs in todays world, but the soft & hard dollar losses of having a highly skilled employee out of the workplace. There is also the expense of having to replace an already trained Executive, should that person not be able to return to work. More companies are encouraging wellness programs & while this is a positive sign, these programs must go beyond exercise facilities. They must include addictions management, stress reduction onsite, nutritional guidance, and programs to manage emotions. These very same programs will result in Executive's with increased vigor, creativity & improved sales performance. Today I would like to discuss a very common problem in today's workplace, and that is IBS or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It also has lots of other names & is connected to many other conditions. A popular one is Gastric Reflux. Here in my practice in Sarasota I have many Executives with this rather unpopular problem. Hypnosis & Lifestyle Change are the way out of this. While medications are useful for symptom management, they do not get to the "bottom". ( I do apologize for this metaphor!) Most individuals need some diet restructuring. This means checking out the daily diet regime, or lack of, and seeing where are the keys for triggering the IBS. They are usually found in the amounts of stimulants, especially foods having a high-glycemic index. Those include the ever popular pasta, white flour products, starches including potatoes, rice, legumes & also fruit. Many individuals with IBS over-indulge in fruit. Dairy can also be a culprit, especially the more milk-related products. As people look to lower fat in their diet, they often increase the amounts of sugar, and the intestinal tract is not happy about this. Stress management is vital to the disappearance of IBS. My clients all learn to do mental biofeedback, as well as Awareness Meditative tools aimed specifically at the "gut." Through specialized imagery the bowel becomes friendly once again, and the medicines can be put away. These tools allow you to enter any body part with your mind & open it. This is the basis of pain management, but can be utilized for any tension in the body. Make no mistake, tension held in deeper organs of the body can cause big grief. As you learn to become familiar with low level tension, and you learn to release it with your mind, you will notice changes in the way your body functions on all levels. As you learn to work with High Level Nutrition & Mindbody tools, not only will your physical symptoms change, but your level of workplace focus will improve dramatically. I have designed an audio for those interested in learning to manage IBS with these tools. If you have additional questions about this, please send me an email. I look forward to helping you reach a higher level of health.
